Structural characteristics of sustained scientific co-authorship networks on molecular chirality

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents a network-based analysis of an ongoing scientific oeuvre by examining co-authorship and citation networks constructed from the Web of Science database as of January 20, 2026 with focus on molecular chirality. By applying edge-weighted methods that account for parallel edges, the analysis captures repeated collaborative relationships and demonstrates the substantial role of large community formation in shaping sustained and continuing scientific activity.
